Still not over Badlands Rumble titling their Vash & Wolfwood theme song as "lovely calamities"

Day 11 - Me, Myself and I

Better late than never! Took a week off while sketching the days I missed and getting sick accidentally

[floweycidal]

i've been listening to "it's raining somewhere else" for the past two hours

funny how music works sometimes. at first, it was just another track in the game's soundtrack. pleasant. melancholic. the kind of thing you might hear in an elevator, if elevators played jazz that made you feel things you couldn't quite name.

but then you sit with it. you reaaally sit with it. and you start to realize it's telling you something.

the underground is a strange place when you think about it. what they have isn't really weather– it's more like... echoes of it. mechanical approximations. magical imitations. whatever you want to call it, it's not quite real. at least, to me, it’s not. 

waterfall's got its eternal drips, probably just groundwater finding paths through stone the way it always has, i dunno. and snowdin... somehow frozen in a permanent winter that can't possibly be natural. magic, maybe. or something else entirely. 

either way, it's all just a stand-in. a photograph of weather, caught in time and played on repeat. unchanging. nature turned into routine. 

and maybe that's the whole point.

yes, the underground’s a prison. no point pretending it isn't. but you know what else it is? it's tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that.

you wake up, and papyrus is out there somewhere, recalibrating his puzzles. the regulars at grillby's have worn their own shapes into their seats. even those echo flowers keep whispering the same conversations, like they're stuck in a loop they're too comfortable to break. it’s consistent. reliable.

the song plays at mtt resort, right when sans brings up the surface.

and then you get it. why it's called that.

because up there.. it's raining. really raining. maybe not right here, maybe not right now, but somewhere. it's always raining somewhere. and rain... rain means things change. rain means the open sky decides to rewrite your plans. rain means sometimes everything you built just... washes away. no warning. no apology. just change.

down here though? down here you've got what you need. friends who know your worst jokes. food that never surprises you. a small purpose, perhaps, but hey– it's yours. a place where you belong, even if it's not exactly where you'd choose to be. it's limited, but at least you know the limits.

and i think that's what the song is trying to tell us. every soft note, every gentle melody– it's sans sitting there at that restaurant table, trying to warn you in the only way he knows how.

is it worth it? is it worth leaving the underground if it’s only to be greeted by nothing but rain? sometimes the cage you know is kinder than the freedom you don't.

it never truly rains in the underground. never has, never will. but somewhere else? somewhere above all this weight monsters call home?

it rains. it pours and it pours. and once you step into that rain, you can never really come back to being dry.

Listening to the Inquisiton soundtrack again and imagining what we could have had if Trevor Morris was brought on to do Veilguard’s music instead of Hans Zimmer. It’s not even close, how much better he did.

one sentence horror story: bel stuck hello kitty stickers on his face and he's been trying for high combos in millenium mall all day........... robo sweats

[scribz-ag24]

thinking about In the Morning Sun beginning with notes that sound as frail and vulnerable as Dusknoir himself is when he uses the last of his strength to ask grovyle for reassurance. and how the song quickly gains strenght and firmness as dusknoir is relieved and glad of having lived the way he did, and even after he gladly vanishes withour regrets the song keeps gaining strenght culminating in the full view of the sunrise that grovyle and celebi get to see, the reward of seeing the dawn of a new day in their world,,,,,,,just feeling emotional rn

BE MY FAVORITE

[souenkun]

I think we as a society need to practice playing and listening through famous actor natori shuuichi's soundtrack, kirameite te gomen, for at least 1 time whenever we feel upset and down. The sheer power that this silly and whimsical soundtrack has at cracking me up the second that it is played needs to be utilized more for our times of need 😭

Happy (almost belated) Birthday, Tenko Shimura!

whoever was in charge of choosing and cueing the music in this show deserves a raise tbh
